SEC. 203. LINKING OF DATABASES.
(a) In General- To be eligible to receive any grant or other type of financial assistance made available under this title, a State shall participate in the interstate compact regarding sharing of driver license data, known as the `Driver License Agreement', in order to provide electronic access by a State to information contained in the motor vehicle databases of all other States.
(b) Requirements for Information- A State motor vehicle database shall contain, at a minimum, the following information:
(1) All data fields printed on drivers' licenses and identification cards issued by the State.
(2) Motor vehicle drivers' histories, including motor vehicle violations, suspensions, and points on licenses.
Now I see no mention of biometrics here. However I do see how this section would be useful to Law Enforcement in determining who they have detained, and whether or not they merit additional scrutiny.
Many years ago I watched a TV Report discussing Truckers and multiple licenses from multiple states. Some of the truckers had 10 licenses of more that they would use in order to avoid getting their license revoked for infractions. That is one thing this database could prevent.
How do you see this section as a Bad Thing? |
